India’s newest airline, Shankh Air

India’s newest airline, Shankh Air, has received approval from the Civil Aviation Ministry to operate in the country, marking a significant milestone.

Shankh Air, set to be the first scheduled airline from Uttar Pradesh, will hub at Lucknow and Noida. According to the company’s website, the airline aims to connect major cities across India, offering both interstate and intrastate routes, focusing on areas with high demand and limited direct flight options. “The company is further directed to comply with relevant provisions, regulations of FDI, SEBl etc as well as other applicable rules & regulations in this regard,” the letter of approval from the aviation ministry read.

The NOC granted to operate will be valid for a period of three years, it further stated. The airline’s launch could bring improved connectivity to regions that currently face limited air travel choices, enhancing regional mobility across India.

As of now, the airline plans to provide connectivity to Lucknow, Varanasi, and Gorakhpur. It will expand the operations later. The airline is owned by Sharvan Kumar Vishwakarma, who is also the chairman of the airline. (www.economictimes.indiatimes.com)
